Fuel system: For about the last year and a half, certain mornings my car wouldn\\'t start by simply turning the ignition; I had to try it the \\"old fashioned\\" way and depress the gas pedal several times prior to turning the ignition key. Power window: The driver side power window motor sounds like it is dying; it takes quite a long time for the window to open and close. Other: The driver side interior door handle just broke off in my hand four (4) weeks ago!!! please bear in mind that this car has less than 29,000 miles and is very well maintained. Something which has occurred over the last year or so is quite dangerous and I need to point this out because I, nor anyone I have spoken to has ever heard of such a thing. The black windshield wiper arm assembly (which attaches the windshield wiper to the motor), for some unknown reason, the black paint has "worn away", exposing a bright silver metal, which reflects the sun directly into my eyes. It is quite dangerous. Since I don't do a lot of driving and always wear sunglasses on sunny days, they has helped me somewhat. However, recently I was driving on a cloudy day when the sun did in fact come out while I was without sunglasses. This proved to be most dangerous as I managed to avoid at least one accident due to this condition..
